Tips for getting around the new GC.
 

Those of us who headed over to GeekBoards have worked a little with this format, and can help a little when it comes to finding things and using features of the new GC. Also, as others become more familiar they can probably add here too what they've learned.

So, add tips here for what you've learned about the New GC, and ask questions if you're having trouble.

Changing fonts - instead of just [ font = symbol] you may have to put quotes around "symbol". (I believe it depends on your browser, computer settings, etc).

Editing posts - Click "edit" and fix your post, then click save.

From the front page GLO Specific forums can be found under the Greek Life forum, and the General Chats at the bottom. You will have to click in the solid blue box.

The post box now has a SPELL CHECK. Rejoice in the fact that there is no longer a need for your posts to look like a 13/F/Hickville in a chatroom.

Please add to as you find new features, and ask questions!!

Haha I think you're rejoicing in that fact most of all.

No doubt.;)

Hey, me too! I rejoice!

I'm glad we never had a big leetspeak problem though.

LIke ZOMG TAHT ROXORS!!1!1!eleventyone!!cos0

Psst, just because there's spellchk doesn't mean we have to use it :D :D

LMAO

I barely use any abbreviations when on AIM either. Those bug me the most

"You are very attractive
Uh oh, I have to leave, there is a parent looking over my shoulder
Talk to you at some later time, casual online acquaintance who I'm going to refer to as my boyfriend even though we've never met and those probably aren't your pictures you're sending to me."

Oh no! What will happen to EarpSpeak?

New tip: If you mouse over the title of a thread, you can read the first few lines without actually clicking in.

So what do you guys think of the "related threads" down at the bottom... I didn't even see them until now...

Dang, I just noticed them!!! That's pretty cool. Instead of telling people to do a search now when they post a thread that says "How do you feel about hazing?" for the umpteenthmillion time, we can tell them to scroll below.:)

So kwestion Jess, how do you fell about hazeeng?


:p

That's it. No cookie for you.:p

I think John is playing around with things a little bit, too, so who knows what will change.

You were gonna give me a cookie? I had no clue. What flavor?

The ones that are bolded are the ones you haven't read, the not bolded ones are the ones you have read.

sadly it doesn't have a "translate/grammar check"... button, so I think we're still stuck... :)

It was going to be a Subway Choc. Chip Macadamia nut, but now you can just forget it.:p

OH WOW!! BEST FEATURE EVER!! :D

I love those!!! How did you know?

You're not the only one that can go digging in people's brains.:p ;)

Good to know. What else have you uncovered?

Your SoulMate will be a Taurus.

/now I'm just messing around.:p

Your brain is squishy :)

man this is going to take some getting use to.

why the need for change anyways?

:(

Some threads are just meant to be forgotten.

I've been to several types of boards that has this format. On some of them you can add a title under your name. I wonder if this function will be added.

YAY that's my favorite!

My mom called me Dory for a good year after that movie bec.....

OOOOH SHINY

Funny...I call my mom Dory when I repeat myself 700 times. She doesn't like it very much.

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim, swim.

That wouldn't much fun for little Fabio, now would it?

So, I'm a registered user, but some other people are Senior Members... is that the same post count as before?

Don't think so. I thought you only needed 100 posts to be a senior member.

Maybe it's just on older posts? I'm confused.

Yea I don't get it either. Cuz I used to be a senior member and now I'm a registered user.

if you look at your older posts, are you listed as a senior member?

nope

Who IS listed as a senior member? Everyone looks like Registered Members to me.

I vote for just those who also have an AARP card! :p
